3DGPU on Benchmarking

NVIDIA's stance was that 3DMark 03 was not indicative of game performance, due primarily to the fact that it was built differently from an actual game. FutureMark, however, said that 3DMark 03 was built to show unoptimized performance, allowing true "apples to apples" comparisons between various hardware platforms. It was not indicative on how a particular title would perform, but overall DX9 performance as a whole.
